Tom Saintfiet finally returned the list of Mali against the Mozambique and theEswatini. The group of Eagles came with many surprises, including the absence of Amadou Haïdara.
The lists of African selections for the 5th and 6th days of the playoffs of the CAN 2025 continue to rain. This Friday, November 8, 2024, it’s the turn of Mali to present its group for its last two qualifying matches. Tom Saintfiet summoned 25 players to face the Mozambique and theEswatini respectively on November 15 and 19. To validate its CAN Morocco 2025 pass, Mali obviously called on its best elements such as Yves Bissouma, Lassine Sinayoko, Nene Dorgeles, El Bilal Touré, etc. But to the great surprise of the Malians, Amadou Haïdara does not appear in the Mali list.
Tom Saintfiet’s other surprise is the first call-up to the national team of Cheick Oumar Konaté, the Clermont Foot defender. We also note the return of Moussa Diarra, Sikou Niakate, Fady Coulibaly, Ismael Diawara and Ibrahima Kone.
